The dark saloon driven along a Vice City expressway in the Extended Look, badged SCHAFTER under the Benefactor roundel. Its plate carries the modern Leonida design, an orange on a white field over the words Sunshine State.

At 13:00 the camera sits behind a dark four-door on an elevated expressway, driving into a low sun with palm shadows across the concrete. The 4K file resolves the badge: SCHAFTER on the left of the boot lid, the Benefactor roundel in the centre. Benefactor is GTA's Mercedes-Benz analogue, and the Schafter has been its E-Class stand-in since GTA IV. The full-width LED tail lights and the lip spoiler put this one in the modern half of the range rather than the classics.

The Leonida plate, in full

Spotted in trailer

The same frame gives the clearest look yet at the state's number plate: LEONIDA across the top, a stylised orange between the characters, and SUNSHINE STATE along the bottom. It is the one on ordinary traffic, and it is not the plate on Jason's Sentinel convertible, which wears an older design reading "Discover '78" over GLORIANA. Rockstar has published nothing about either.

Questions and answers

Is the Benefactor Schafter definitely in GTA 6?

The Benefactor Schafter is on screen in An Extended Look, and TopSpeed put a name to it. Rockstar has published no vehicle list, so this entry rests on the footage rather than on an official confirmation.

Are there any performance figures for the Benefactor Schafter?

Not for the Benefactor Schafter, and not for anything else on wheels: Rockstar has published no speed, handling or price figures for a single GTA 6 vehicle, so any number you see is somebody's guess.
